Recent Catalina update broke sshd: SHAuthorizationRight

I installed the the supplementary update and noticed I was able to ssh [user]@localhost again, however was still unable to log into my machine from remote machines.

Found this helpful little article https://help.octopus.com/t/cant-connect-to-os-x-installation-via-ssh/3140/3

And made modifications to my sshd_config (/etc/ssh/sshd_config)

Adding:

PasswordAuthentication yes

UsePAM yes

Once I added that in there I was able to ssh in without issue.

Hope this helps you!

CABUIE-M-26NH:~ cabuie$ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication yes

UsePAM yes

PermitRootLogin no

PermitEmptyPasswords no
#
Banner /etc/sshbanner

Any luck on finding a solution.

It appears I'm running into the same issue.

Everytime the sshd service is restarted (by checking/unchecking the remote login button) I see the following log messages:

May 15 16:12:22 CABUIE-M-26NH com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.openssh.sshd): Unknown key for string: SHAuthorizationRight

May 15 16:13:11 CABUIE-M-26NH com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.openssh.sshd): Unknown key for string: SHAuthorizationRight

I haven't and unfortunately for me this is a work machine, so I don't think I can install a beta build.

But I'm glad to know that someone who has experienced this issue has also seen it resolved in later builds..

Thanks for sharing. :)

Hi, I have the same issue, and when I try to ssh to my Mac, I get :

`(com.openssh.sshd.F3604EB4-6A0B-4B5B-BF80-05328558535F[3180]): Service exited with abnormal code: 255`

Have you tried installing the last beta build ? My issue was solved on 19F83c

Upgraded to 10.15.5, still same issue.
